Field info

[jharmon]

I have my script waiting for an IE form to load, and once it is loaded I want to create a variable set to a field in the IE form so I can use that text elsewhere. In the source code, the field is named SERVICE_NO. Initially, I thought that I would just be able to make IE visible and set $var = .service_no.value, but that doesn't work. I have messed around with _IEBodyReadHTML(), but I'm not sure if I am misusing that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Your logic is correct. Here is an example using IE.au3 to obtain the current form field value:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.google.com")

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f")
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "q")
$oQuery.focus

Send("This is a test")
Sleep(2000); Allow Send time to complete

$sQueryValue = $oQuery.value

ConsoleWrite ("Field Value is: " & $sQueryValue & @CR)

Pardon my ignorance, but what are "f" and "q"? Are they the names of the forms?

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f")

$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "q")

Yes. Take a look at the source for http://www.google.com and you'll see they are the names of the form (f) and the text field (q).

I incorporated the example provided, but now when I'm running my script, I get the following error pointing to IE.au3:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (728) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:

If IsObj($o_object.document.forms.item ($s_name, $i_index)) Then

If IsObj($o_object^ ERROR

I am running the latest beta and have IE.au3 T1.4. Any suggestions?

It is telling you that there is a problem with the object variable you passed into the _IEFormGetObjByName routine (first parameter) -- it is either not an object or it is not the right type of object. It needs to be the variable you create with something like $oIE = _IECreate()

If this doesn't clear it up for you you'll need to provide more code to show what you're doing.
